General Notes: Child - Hannah Smith


The Family Search Center lists two dates for her christening: 10/12/1764 and 12/25/1764. Since they both list the father as John Smith, both entries may refer to the same Hannah Smith. If not, one of them is certain to be the Hannah Smith who married Francis Lee in Whitby in 1789.

General Notes: Husband - Thomas Wood


J.P., M.P. for Middlesex (1837- 1847). According to a summary of papers at the London Metropolitan Archives, "he commanded the 3rd Battalion Grenadier Guards in the early stages of the Crimean War". The family claims that the painting "Roll Call"(1874) by Elizabeth Thompson (which now hangs in Buckingham Palace) depicts Col. Wood on horseback. According to the Cardiff Times, April 7, 1894, pg. 1, he was a Lieutenant General. He was Sheriff of Breconshire in 1858.


General Notes: Wife - Frances Smythe


Descended from Charles II, and hence, from William the Conqueror, on both her mother's and father's side of the family, via Augustus Henry Fitzroy(1735-1811)


General Notes: Child - Thomas Wood


Lord of Littleton & Gwernyfed. He sold Middleham Castle, County York, to Samuel Cunliffe-Lister (later first Lord Masham) in 1889. Sold Littleton Park to Sir William Burbridge in 1907(see London Times March 30 , 1907 pg 11) (who restored it in the early 20th century after a fire which occurred in 1874). His daughter sold Gwernyfed Park in 1922. By that time he had a second residence, Rockmount, in Bournemouth, according to the London Times, December 13, 1918, pg. 11.

According to a summary of papers at the London Metropolitan Archives, "Captain Thomas Wood was lord of the manor of Littleton in 1906 (The Victoria History of the County of Middlesex, Vol. 2., 1911). The Littleton estate, comprising over 1250 acres in Littleton, Shepperton, Ashford and Laleham, was broken up and sold from 1892, although Captain Thomas Wood still owned much of the land in Littleton parish in the early twentieth century. He followed his father into the Grenadiers and saw action in the Sudan. Upon leaving the regular army he became a colonel in the Brecknockshire Rifle Volunteers and entered local government . The fire which destroyed the Littleton mansion in 1874 also consumed a fine collection of paintings. The most famous of these was Hogarth 's "Strolling Actors", which had been purchased in 1745 by Thomas Wood . The artist's signed receipt for the purchase money is among the documents in this collection (ACC.1302/91). It was preserved carefully by the family and is mentioned by James Thorne in his Handbook to the Environs of London, published in 1876."  After the fire he built the Gwernyfed Park Mansion on his Gwernyfed Estate . For his creation of the Gwernyfed Park version of the Wood coat of arms see attached.

Col. Late Grenadier Guards, Late Lieut Col. 1st Brecon R. Volunteers. High Sherriff Brecnock 1886. Educated at Eton.
